The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1887-10-08

Humboldt Messenger: Last week
one Mr.. Bynum, who lives near Spring
Greek, in Madison county, started to
fill an appointment to make an anti
prohibition speech. Before starting,
he went to jackson, procured two
gallons of whisky, got his Winchester
rife and two revolvers-we suppose
these were the arguments he intended
to use. On his route to the place Of
speaking, he stopped at the residence
of a gentleman, whose name we have
forgotten, and, at the muzzIe Of his
gun, compelled two men, who we're
there, to drink largely aud frequently
from his jug. He then ordered both
of the men to get into his buggy while
he mounted one of their horses, and
forced them to drive in front of him.
AT frequent intervals he made them
drink from the jug, until one of the
men became beastly drunk and WAS
thrown out of the buggy aud left ly>
ing on the side of the road. He next
ordered the other party to get in front
Of the buggy aud run while he drove
after him at full speed until the rum
ner was exhausted, and almost fright
ened to death. His next exploit was
to go to church in the neighborhood,
where services were being held. He
entered the church with his Winches-
ter presented, and ordered the minis
ter to leave the pulpit saying, I'D
d-n you, you don't know how to run
meeting" The congregation was
panic-s:ricken, women and children
screamed, men sat in their seats
dumb-founded, but, as in cases Of
train robbery, no resistance was made,
The drunken and impious 6end en-
tered the pulpit and dismissed the
congregation, then got into his buggy
and left. All this occurred here il
West Tennessee, and yet, so far as w
have heard, the guilty wretch has no
been arrested. Indeed, we under
stand he has been suffered to escap,
from the country. The election is nov
over, and this is merely written as'al
item of news, and not for election
purposes. If the speech was made, i
was not reported.

What is Life,s Greatest Boong

Ask any one the above question,
and the answer will be made instantly,
"Life's greatest boon is the enjoyment
Of good health" No one feels more
keen y i'll the absence of his heavenly
boon than the weak and delicate wo-
man, and no one more keenly than
she will appreciate the blessings of
good health, or more eagerly seek for
the remedies which will restore her
wasted strength to the full perfection
which health alone can give. To all
such we earnestly appeal to read the
following testimony of well.known
lady resident in Hopkinsville, KY:

years, had been sick for years, and for the
been shle to be around half the time. About
SIX months ago she got SO feeble she was
helpless. Her old remedies, or phytc clans,
being Of no avail, / sent to Deposit; forty
Ave miles. and got a bottle of Hop Bitters.
It had such very beneficial effect ON her
that one bottle improved her so she was able
to dress herself and walk about the house.

Tho New chart for PiIots.

The latest number OF the Pilot Chart,
a monthly publication for the guild
ance of mariners, shows that there are
today eleven dangerous wrecks right
in the path OF vessels in the coasting
trade along the eastern coast OF the
United States. In any other country
on the civil Esd globe man OF war or
government vessel Of some descrip.
ton would have been dispstch Ell to
DESTROY these wrecks as soon as re-
ported. There is nothing, lot even
en- ice bsrg, more dangerous to naviga-
ton THAI q water logged "derelict."
Yet up to the present time there is no
one in the United States with the
necessary authority to order a vessel
out to remove these dangers from the
pathway OF our merct AIT marine.
Time after time the attention of Con-
gress ha, been called to this eubj act,
and the officers in charge Of the Pilot
Chart have repeatedly urged that a
small appropriation be made to enable
The navy to main lain email ship for
the purpose OF removing floating dam
gers as soon as they are reported. Bot
there is no one so directly interested
as to spend time and money in hanging
about the doors Of Congress to see
that this recommendation is consid
cred. In consequence year follows
year and tie very sensible reCommen.
dstion is UNDECIDED. 1t is estimated
by raval officer who has given q
great deal of attention TO this subject
that the actual annual loss 10 the mer.
chant marine OF the United States
from striking upon these unmarked
distractions is equal to at lest 10 pei
cent. OF the losses from all Other
causes combined. The cost of build
ing and maintaining the necessary
vessel to remove these INSTRUCTIONS
would be more than saved in the
fret year by the prevention OF losses

steamers which are jsopardiEsd by the
failure OF the government to do it,

WILMINGTON, N. O., May 5.-This
morning six negro boys, eyed IL 10
IL years, were at the wharf OF the
Wilmington compress preparing to get
across Cape Fear river to shoot rice
birds. One named Grant Best had
borrowed a double barrel shotgun
from negro man, which, he said, had
no cap on the tube, and he did not
know 1t was loaded. While in the act
OF blowing out one Of the tubes the
hammer fell and one barrel was dis
charged, killing instantly Ed. Smith
aud Il. Fillsyaw, and Ben. Conolly and
Ed. FiIiayaw were also shot and died
soon after. Another, named George
Best, was wounded in both arms, but
1t is likely he will recover. Grant
Best surrendered bimse'f Immediately
after the shooting, and claims 1t was
accidental, which is generally believed,
as the wounded boy is his brother.

The Collector OF Gust oms at Port

to the Treasury Department involving
the right Of resident OF Sherbrooke,
Canada who has contract for con-
suucting twenty-five miles Of railroad
across to the State OF Name, to bring
free Of duty the tools and implements
lie may require in execution OF his
contract, such IS sAovels, crowbsrs,
sc-spers wheelbsrIows, etc. Aesis-
tAni Secretary Maynard has informed
the Collecior that inasmuch as the
contractor inter ds 20 bring in the ar
tiales temporarily, and then return
them to Cansds, and as they are to
be used hy PERSONS other than him
sell, they are not entitled TO free entry
a. stools o! trade, occupation or ex-
pertinent Of persons arriving in the
United States" and that there is no
provision in the statute which would
suthor se.th granting Of his request.
He also informed tie Collector that II
the cont Actor imports any animals
into the United States for work on the
raj road he must mske entry and pay
duty on them, provided the Collector
finds that such animals could have
been obtained in tie United States.
ASSISTANT Secretary Maynard has in
strueted customs officers to see that
domestic cigars exported for the pur'
pose OF being Telmported are not ad-
mitted to entry under the provisions
Of section $500, but to require them to
be turned over TO the collectors OF In
ternal revenue for such procedure as
may be found expedient under the
revenue law. This action il ba'ed on
information that system exists OF
sending cigars manufactured in San
Francisco to Victoria, B. O., and then
returning them to San Ffaucisco
under the provisions of section 25OO,
Revised Statutes. They are then
stamped with custom stamps bearing
the words Domestic cigars reim-
ported" A good market for these
cigars is found in st. Louis, where
they are usually sold aI imported
cigars. The purchasers see the i'm
